Captive Slave Of The Ruthless Lycan King 137: What’s going on?
Kai’s POV“Alpha?” The words sounded like they’d been whispered from another dimension.“Alpha Kai, can you hear me?” The same distant, buzzing tone threatened my peace again.More incessant chattering followed, words that I couldn’t make sense of.Then it stopped, but I couldn’t go back into the state of nothingness that I’d been in after overdosing on the sleeping potion Leila delivered upon my request yesterday afternoon. The same afternoon that I’d felt like my body and brain had conspired against me, the real me—not the angry, merciless beast, no.The one that cared deeply about Cora. The one that hadn’t realized that he’d rather die than hurt her until he saw his palm imprinted on her right cheek yesterday.“Kai?” The voice sounded painfully strained this time around.“God, will he be okay?” Another voice, a shaky and breathless one.I was fully awake now, and the voices around me were beginning to fucking piss me off—I just wanted to enjoy a fucking nap and forget about the hea
Captive Slave Of The Ruthless Lycan King 138: A New Room
Cora’s POV“Are you lot fucking kidding me?” I was blinking furiously with my mouth agape, I couldn't believe the sight before me.When Nina had come running to me where I was feeding the horses, I was wondering what happened that would’ve caused her to run so frantically. Even when I did ask, she’d only said “you have to see it for yourself” breathlessly and dragged me back to the room with her.“You’re deaf? Is that it?” I left the doorway and walked towards the guards who were hastily gathering everything I owned into a pile.They didn’t pay me any mind, they just kept packing up my things and carrying them out of the room. To say i was shocked would be an understatement, I was gobsmacked as they walked by me and two other guards remained to gather the rest.I was convinced that they had empty coconut shells for brains because there was the option of packing my belongings into one huge carry-on or box, but they decided to come in their numbers and carry them scattered? That pissed
Captive Slave Of The Ruthless Lycan King 139: Solved
Kai’s POVI watched the young spell caster’s hands tremble as she murmured a spell under her breath, I knew it was because she feared me but I hoped that it wouldn't interfere with the spell.“Any Idea what the problem is yet?” I asked impatiently and she locked her nervous eyes with me before shaking her head.Another No, the fourth one in the last forty minutes.“Try again!” I snapped at her and she flinched before nodding quickly and shutting her eyes to recite the spell again.The moment I walked out of Cora’s room, I’d gone on a frantic search to find Leila, overturning every room in the palace that I thought she’d be in, but there was no sign of her. I knew that if anyone could figure out what was wrong with me and how to fix it, it’d be her.When I wasn’t able to find her, my frustration easily morphed into anger and I stormed off to the training room where the spell casters under her. The second I stepped foot into the room, the spell casters present scrambled to their feet an
Captive Slave Of The Ruthless Lycan King 140: Fire
Kai’s POV“Nina, stay” Cora held unto her friend’s arm tightly and practically pinned her on the spot.Nina.Mystery maid’s name was Nina.“Cora, five minutes” I wanted to plead but I wasn't even sure how to, men like me never cared enough about anybody’s feelings to learn how to deliver a simple apology.“Too long, I’d kick you out the second the lies left your lips” She didn't let her eyes meet mine no matter what.“I’m not leaving until we talk, and I’m not talking with her here” I folded my arms stubbornly—in the same manner she usually did—and leaned comfortably against the walls.Cora balled her fists furiously at her sides and the frown lines on her forehead became deeper, like I’d set off a level of anger she was oblivious to having. The mystery ma—no, Nina leaned into her and whispered something in her ears that caused Cora’s tenses shoulders to visibly relax before she let go of her arm.“I’ll excuse you now, Alpha” She bowed as she walked past me and left the room.I should

Leila’s POVHe was fixing up a room for her? By himself?My mind was racing with a million questions, and not the kind that anyone could proffer answers to. Only a deity who oversaw all could help me make sense of Kai’s obsession with Cora, especially after he’d ingested a shit ton of the supposed fate-altering red rose I risked my ass to get.How the hell was he fighting it off? I mean, I knew he was strong but I thought it was just against physical warfare, not the supernatural. The mere fact that he had chosen the worst possible time to show how boundless his strength and determination could be pissed me the hell out.“I just need one more shot at Cora’s life, and this time, I won't miss the target” I looked into my scrying mirror while I waited for it to locate Cora.I barely made use of the scrying mirror to spy on my enemies within the palace because it drew an unimaginable amount of power from me to keep it connected to a magical source. It was usually a last resort when I’d ex
Captive Slave Of The Ruthless Lycan King 142: The Traitor
Leila’s POV“Is he okay? Why was he he—” my statement was cut off when I lost my balance on the shelf and fell on my ass.You’re not weak Leila, you can't afford to be.Rene gasped loudly and ran over to my side on seeing my fall, “ God, Miss, are you feeling well?”Her hands went around my back and she pulled me into a sitting position while I struggled to keep myself grounded. I was becoming weaker by the second because I hadn't even taken a minute to rest but I didn't care, I had to protect Kai by any means necessary.“You’re burning up, Miss,” Rene diagnosed after using the back of her palm to feel my forehead and neck.“I did a scrying spell,” I confessed mindlessly as my eyes fluttered weakly where I laid against a shelf.I didn't know if Rene enjoyed gasping, but she gasped loudly again on hearing that.“Alone? Scrying spells are far too demanding to be done alone,” She recited as though I hadn't taught her that in her first year under my wing.“Are you strong enough to do a si
Captive Slave Of The Ruthless Lycan King 143: Unexpected Twist
Leila’s POV Kol? I knew I’d seen a familiar figure. The same cowardly asshole that’d made my last trip nothing worth remembering? How did such a lousy excuse for a man get into a cult as powerful as that? How could he have ensured that a closed off tunnel was opened for his secret meeting? How the hell was he sleek enough to do treacherous shit under Kai’s nose? Kol didn't even have the balls to stand in the presence of a mystical being in the body of a little girl so how could he be some brilliant mastermind? He’d really fooled me with that act. “When you're finished, pick your jaw off the floor and leave” He said in a shockingly authoritative voice. At this point, I wasn't even focused on the order he’d given, I was simply trying to recover from my initial shock upon seeing him. It shouldn't surprise me as much as it did since I was a cunning person whose survival depended on covering my tracks, but Kol hadn't just covered his tracks, he’d buried them in his cowardly persona
Captive Slave Of The Ruthless Lycan King 144: She has been the one
Kai’s POVNot her, God.“Alpha Kai, are you okay?” Levi’s hand grabbed my shoulders and shook me firmly.When I looked up at him, I realized that I’d unknowingly crouched beside Leila’s dead body and I was absentmindedly checking for a pulse. It was a fucking dumb thing to do especially because I could clearly see the hole in her chest that indicated that her heart had been ripped out.And no, I wasn't okay.Leila was bound to my hip from the first day we shared a morsel of bread together, and although I hated sentimental shit, I hadn't forgotten the promise we’d made to each other that day to live so long that we’d become elders.“H—ho… how?” I dragged in a ragged breath because of how heavy that question had made my chest feel.Recently, I’d been asking questions that I didn't want the answers to, but they were necessary questions so I couldn't exactly avoid them. From the moment I’d identified the dead body to be Leila’s, a feeling of dread caused a hole to plummet in my intestines

Cora’s POV“Bitch, if you don’t get back in there!” Nina caught me just before I could sneak out to Kai’s chambers. “Man, you’re such a cockblocker,” I blew a raspberry at her and rolled my eyes in annoyance before stepping back into the room. “It’s bad luck for the groom to see his bride while she’s fully dressed and you know it,” she entered right after me. Maybe If I’d snuck out the second after she left I’d have met up with Kai for a quickie and I’d be back before she could come and spew rubbish myths to keep me away from him. “That’s a myth and whoever came up with it is clearly a hater!” I sunk into my chair, fully dressed in the most stunning wedding dress I’d ever seen all my life. “I’ll let you get away with that only because it’s your wedding day,” Nina chucked a purple flower in her hair to match her chief bridesmaid’s dress. “It’s my wedding day!” I squealed so loudly that Nina had to use both palms to block her eyes while smiling at me. I still couldn’t believe it.

Kai’s POVLevi’s pain strengthened me even more, he had no idea.“In your next life, when you get an opportunity to kill your enemy, don’t be an egoistic bastard by waiting to organize a lousy ceremony first and just fucking do it!” I gave him the last piece of valuable advice he’d ever get.“C-Cora….” tears dropped down his face as he fixed his desperately pleading eyes on my woman.“You brought this on yourself, Levi. I’d never have grown to love or trust a man that could betray someone he’d sworn an oath of eternal loyalty to, it just meant that you could switch up on me someday too,” she surprised me by intertwining her fingers with my bloody ones as she spoke.“I could never ever betray you, Cora. You’re my fated true love, and it’s not too late to leave this deceitful monster and save me,” my blood began to boil all over again as I watched him plead with her.I gave him one fatal blow to the jaw and he dropped to the floor groaning.“Stop fucking talking to her, you dead meat!”
Captive Slave Of The Ruthless Lycan King 160: All is Well
Levi’s POVIt was today.The day I’d watch Kai meet an embarrassing end just before all of his power was transferred to my deserving arms. The gods knew that I would’ve been better suited to be blessed with his boundless abilities and fate had finally turned things in my favor.“Are you prepared for the ritual?” I practically whispered as I bent towards the elderly men that were meant to perform the soul swapping ritual.They dropped their hoods at the same time and nodded in a slow synchronized movement, “As prepared as the gods permits their servants to be.”Creepily, that was also said in unison before the covered their hoods again in one swift motion and walked off towards the lifted stage where Kai’s body would be placed for the public execution. As weird and disturbing as their identical movements were, it didn’t deplete my excitement about the execution ceremony.“Welcome all,” I stood to my feet as I began to address the hundreds of people in attendance.“You have come from lan
Captive Slave Of The Ruthless Lycan King 159: Hers to Execute
Levi’s POVI knocked on Cora’s door again when I didn’t get a response.“It’s me Levi, are you in?” I called out.A few seconds passed and then I heard a door open that signified that she must’ve been in the bathroom when I knocked earlier.“I’ll be right there, give me a minute,” her sweet voice called out and I nodded even though she couldn’t see me.I tapped my feet on the floor as I waited for her, and then finally she pulled the door open.“You wanna come in?” she moved aside as she pulled the door open.Her hair looked a bit wet, her cheeks were glistening like they’d been oiled and she was wearing the most adorable little pink dress paired with white cute flats. Even before now, I was always eager to see what she’d wear every single day, but it was more fulfilling now because she was all mine to ogle.“Nah, there’s something I have to show you,” I grabbed her wrist and began leading her away from the room.“You mind telling me where we’re headed?” she finally asked after we’d ta
Captive Slave Of The Ruthless Lycan King 158: Flowers for Her
Levi’s POV“Has she gotten the bouquets?” I asked the maid that I’d sent on an errand earlier.“Yes, sir. I delivered them first thing in the morning,” she answered with a bow and I waved her off.The morning of the day we’d overpowered Kai, I remembered watching him gather flowers after he’d thought I left on a tax collecting trip. I watched him make them into a huge bouquet and I was pretty irritated that he thought flimsy flowers would fix all the damage he’d done to Cora when he regarded her as an enemy.However, it had given me a brilliant Idea.I decided that I’d send a bouquet or more to Cora’s room every morning with a heart warming note just to remind her of how precious she was to me. She never failed to thank me for it at breakfast and it made my heart swell. I loved that I’d finally gotten the chance to woo her and I knew I’d do a far better job than Kai could ever have.Speaking of that monster, Kai, I was skipping breakfast to go and see him in the dungeon, to see how muc
Captive Slave Of The Ruthless Lycan King 157 : Drive a knife through his heart
Cora’s POVI woke up in a pool of my own sweat.My eyes searched the room to see if the beast in my dreams had crossed into reality by some chance for an opportunity to continue torturing me, but I was lucky that that hadn't happened. The only other person in the room was Nina, not a grizzly monster.She was curled up into a ball on her mattress and she was buried so far into the duvet that I could only see her eyes and a bit of her forehead. And yes, she was crashing here because of the nightmares.The same horrid nightmares that had been recurring for a while now.After the first two nights, I’d told Nina about it because she noticed the heavy eye bags underneath my eyes and then she’d scolded me for not speaking up earlier before gathering most of her things and moving into my room.Oh, trust me, I protested. I assured her that it wouldn't happen again, but she gave me the ‘this isn't up for debate’ look and did as she pleased.Carefully, I moved off the bed and walked over to sit a

Kai’s POVI could smell her, so I knew she was near.Her scent was refreshing and intoxicating and I wished I could drown myself in it one last time, just once. I knew I looked like absolute crap but I was still eager to see her, to look at her and search her eyes for any feelings of remorse, to find out if the memories we shared meant anything to her.As much as my determination to kill Levi for betraying me was one of my driving forces for staying alive, the primary reason that I hadn't let my spirit break was because I was desperate to see Cora again.Delusions aside, I was ready to break my chains and make things right with her.I tuned my ears to the sounds of her footsteps as she neared, heels clacking on the cemented hallway she was walking down to reach the torture dungeon.One might tag me as a helpless fool, but I felt a tad excited to gaze upon her stunning face again.“You look like shit,” was the first thing that left her lipstick clad lips as she pulled the door of the d
Captive Slave Of The Ruthless Lycan King 155: One to torture him
As I walked behind her toward the dining hall, I couldn't help but admire every single detail that was in my view.Her body was clad tightly in a lovely purple dress—a color that signified royalty which was what she’d finally become now that Kai was put away— that made my insides ache as her full hips swayed in it, her legs were being carried in black heels that made her look elegant, and her hands were accessorized with pure golden bangles that matched the necklace she was wearing.The only thing that was out of place was the crystal bracelet that rested in between the golden bangles, but that didn't matter.All that mattered was that she’d dressed up for me.I remember how incredibly jealous I usually felt whenever she dressed up for Kai, especially because she was always so gorgeous and she still treated her like bird poop. I’d never make her feel that way, how could I even dare?“Have I mentioned how stunning you look tonight, Cora?” I asked as we finally stepped into the dining h
Captive Slave Of The Ruthless Lycan King 154: Darkly Obsessed
Levi’s POVKai’s face? Priceless.The mere fact that he’d been cocky enough to assume that I’d be blindly loyal to him despite how much of a monster he was made it glaringly obvious that he was nothing but a muscled idiot. So, seeing the shock on his face when he realized that I’d betrayed him was far more rewarding than I’d thought it’d be.Nothing could've prepared me for how powerful and satisfied I’d been when I saw him looking raggedy and helpless in chains.He’d brought his miserable fate upon himself and I was beyond pleased that the moon goddess had chosen me to put him in his place. I strongly believed that everything was set in stone on the very day that Kai had unintentionally exposed his weakness to me.I still recall that day like it was an hour ago.Kai had been drunk to stupor after our first major win, we’d conquered an army of almost a hundred and fifty thousand werewolves with an army of only two hundred werewolves. Kai had intentionally subdued the beast within him i
